The incident occurred Saturday night, when a truck with Arabic writing on it drove through a checkpoint into Yitzhar. According to the soldiers, the truck driver had lost his way and passed the checkpoint unintentionally. He then drove on the access road to Yitzhar and attempted to pass into the town itself. Residents said that the driver refused to stop and ignored the calls of a guard at the gate to halt.

This story, like most stories in the Leftist Media does not pass the smell check.
Moslem test run.
Car bomb rehearsal.
I wonder what article #2 (post explosion) will tell us.
Probably the moslem driver’s halal BBQ grill exploded b/c the voltage is different from his car’s cigarette lighter socket.
